Re: [Cal_Boats] Masthead Clearance

Bruce, have no fear......There is a Manual for the 2-27! I found one ON-LINE, I think it is on the "Sailing Older Cals Home Page" http://pages.sssnet.com/go2erie/calhome.htm If you can't find it there (and I believe you will....) Let me know and I'll e-mail the WORD Document version that I have (and any diagrams that should go with it). What can I say? I save things like this in my "Dreamboats" file!

I am a new owner of a 1975 Cal 2-27 and fairly new to sailing in general. I live in Jacksonville, Florida so if there are any of you who reside in the area, I would be interested in meeting you. I hope you all don't mind if I ask questions of the group every so often. Does anybody have the masthead clearance of a Cal 2-27? Does anybody have an owners manual for the Cal 2-27?

I prefer the tried and true method of sailing up to the bridge and just seeing if you can sail under it. I used to do that with my homebuilt plywood catamaran with it's wooden box section mast. But that was before I figured out if you yelled "beep Beeep! reaallly loud, the bridge operator would raise the bridge for you. (sailboat see, sailboat do. Had to do with a make believe horn since I didn't have a real one on board). Jerry From: Rodney G.
